Overview
This book presents a unified approach to the electrodynamics of continua, based on the principles of contemporary continuum of physics. This interdisciplinary approach is unique for the treatment of the subject matter, and much of the material is new or newly composed. No other treatise similar in content and composition to this one exists at this time. The authors present a self-contained, finite deformation and finte electro-magnetic field theory from a unified viewpoint, providing ample critical illustrations by way of applications. The constitution of the book is as follows: (1) development of the ten basic balance laws in order to establish the macroscopic electromagnetic theory; (2) establishment of the general constitutive theory. By means of eight axioms, the local nonlinear theory is developed for finite deformations and E-M (electromagnetic) fields. In this way, for the first time, it has been possible to express the nonlinear constitutive equations for the ninety magnetic groups relevant to magnetic crystals. (3) discussion of special theories and applications. Various special topics are explored and solutions presented to several nonlinear problems in order to demonstrate the uses of the basic theory. The book is intended primarily as a guide and reference for researchers, although selected chapters can well be used as a textbook for graduate studies.Editorials

The interaction of electromagnetic fields with bulk matter is a topic of obviously high technological importance, but a topic made famously complicated by the fact that bulk matter can be "constituted" in so many radically diverse ways. In this major monograph the emphasis is on that aspect of the topic which relates to deformable matter (whether solid or fluid). The authors (both at Princeton when the project was conceived) have produced a 2-volume work which has the outward appearance of a graduate level textbook (exercises at the end of each of the 23 chapters), but which contains so much new material and is so uncompromisingly detailed that it will be of value mainly to their professional peers. Physical and mathematical fundamentals are in very clear focus. Very handsomely produced. (NW) Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)Book Details
